Transportation Route

Environmental monitoring along the designated transportation route began in 2013. This includes collection of baseline water quality data at stream crossings and baseline air quality data using a portable particulate monitoring device. Additional secondary data that may be evaluated and/or collected along the transportation route includes weather and traffic data. The objective of the surface water quality and portable air quality monitoring along the transportation route is to provide baseline data for evaluation of potential impacts from transportation of ore during mining operations.

The 2016 Work Plan provides more information on data review and monitoring along the transportation route.
